Goodmorning,
In the advisory https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7139922 the vendor explained that CVE-2023-37903 is a flaw in the Node.js vm2 module.
Could You please help us and could You append the cpe "nodejs:node.js"?
We'd appreciate it very much.
Best Regards,
TEAM CERT

The IBM summary is confusing and/or wrong: Node.js is not affected but a Node.js package.
